Why won't this work? (Returning strings)

My compiler keeps telling me that "`string' does not name a type" and highlighting this line:

Code:

---

string asString(bool *walls, width, height) {

---

(If you're curious, it's suppose to give a textual representation of a randomly generated maze.)

Before you mention it, I've already got "#include <string>" and "using namespace std" in the code.

Looks like width and height need to have types

Thanks for that. I feel a bit dumb now. Unfortunately, it still won't work. So far:

Code:

---

string asString(bool *walls, int width, int height) {

---

I don't see anything wrong with that; the problem is probably elsewhere in your code.

is the line before this any clue?

as mentioned, if your code is not excessively long try and post that so we can see if the error is somewhere else.

Apparenty it was because I forgot to put a use a semicolon while closing a class. Unfortunately there seem to be a ton of other problems. I'm gonna try to figure them out on my own before posting again.
Thanks anyway.
